Hi, I'm Andre Lewis and I'm on the Internet

John Resig and team have officially launched their long-awaited jQuery UI library early this morning. jQuery UI provides "higher-order" effects like magnification and drag-and-drop. It also provides themeable widgets (tabs, accordions, sortable tables, calendars, etc). Here are the key links:

• John's blog post annoucement
• the UI site
• the UI docs

My impression so far is that this initial release is a little rough. Like any ambitious cross-browser effort, it will go an iteration or two, gaining polish and stability.

A final note: if you're used to check in on the jQuery group for news, note that there's a separate group for UI: http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-ui.
